Thanks for the reply Nature, I agree too, better safe than sorry, specially if it's a expensive strain. I'm going to try Kalashnikovas from GH. Heard some not so positive things about her but I hope it results better than some reports I've seen around. Apparently she's prone to herm so let's keep our fingers crossed. If you see the growhd video of HG Kalashnikova grow it seems very impressive; but then again these guys have OPTIMAL conditions. Check it out here.
no problem bro! Yea they gotta make it look good lol. I've heard bad bout em like crazy and I hate em cause their seeds wouldn't germ for me and I've germed many, but I got a pure kush of theirs in DWC and it don't look half bad. Good luck with it tho bro! Keep us posted, I hope u get a good one!
bro I looked many places and htg was the cheapest I could find. They stand by all their warranties tho I do kno that.
wow bro! Thanks for sharing that beast. Looks gorgeous. I have to ask what brand bulb u using & r u using supplemental? Those buds look fuckn fantastic!this thread has been an inspiration, thanks everyone!
your insperation for me it wont be massive but they are lookin like there getting very froasty would say maybe a week left or 2 ?
Thanks man, it's my second grow. Not too sure of the bulb, just a cheap one from the hydro store. was like $30. Havent had any supplemental lighting, i just read about scrogs and sorta tried to replicate that with LST and no screen.
Thanks so much, its just my second grow so it means alot! I'm happy to share what i did this time around, which was a big improvement from my last grow. The strain is Heavy Duty Fruity, from THseeds. I use a mix of coco and perlite, maybe 70/30 mix. The only nutrients i have used are botanicare's CNS17 Grow, Bloom, And Ripe. I'm also sorta wondering about when i should harvest my plant too. But from what i know you need to look at the trichomes, theres alot of good info on how to get exactly the feeling you want from your bud, so it's worth it to check it out. I vegged it in a 2 liter bottle till week 2, then put it in a 5 gal bucket with lots of holes in the bottom...switched to flower right away. The roots hit the bottom the next day. Anything else u want to know feel free to ask, i'm happy to share...Peace!TastesLikeTurtles with that really sweet grow kudos...
I would like to grow my next plant like that what style is that is it hard any advice as to whast strain and tuff ?
I did peter off in my picture taking after some time with that grow, didn't I? I finished with all my females alive and vibrant. I didn't encounter any problems with the plants themselves, but the CFL fixture didn't produce too much bud. I don't own a scale (in an attempt to avoid an "intent to distribute" charge) but I figure I got around and ounce or two after it was all said and done.
For seedlings a T5 would do better heat wise, but with a MH if you can keep your temps ridiculously low you can drop it down pretty close. I keep mine at 4-6 inches above my tops, regardless of stage or light. If you don't have your environment locked in, then I'd suggest going with Nature's suggestion.Hello everyone new to RIU here and also a 250W enthusiast. I feel at home here.
What about at seedling stage? I believe that I will begin with the 250W MH (no cool tube, just a 6 '' fan blowing between the WF and the light) as soon as I place it in the Waterfarm, no CFL's for this one to see how it works out. It seems like a waste of money to buy some cfl's or t5 or anything else just to have them there for a week or two. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for your time everyone, hope to be posting here some more when my grow starts.
Regards.
The prices aren't that bad with HTG honestly, they are one of the better priced out there. I've never had a problem with them, always ships on time/quick, good communication and good customer service/product.
Keep a package of roll your own tobacco, papers, and a scale in the same area. A lot of people who roll their own cigs use scales to measure out 1g of tobacco for their cigs. Also when driving and carrying, keep a pack of tobacco and papers in the car as well as sage. When sage is burned it smells like burning herb, and sage is used in a lot of different cultures for religious purposes.
. Also looking great with all of the pics you all, keep up the great grows

oh u don't need permission bro! All & every 250w user is welcome in my book. Lst scrog type is the shit aint it bro!? I believe lst is key with a 250. I'm glad this thread has been very active the past few months!

P.S. Can i join the club?
I have the HTG HPS 250 watter with an additional MH conversion bulb to go with it and zero complaints here.
Yeah i love this thread, i'll be here then! LST is great. I'm gonna try a small Sea of green to minimize veg time, we will see how that goes. Another week or so and it's chop chop for the HDF i hope, lol.
You definitely did the HDF justice! Just goin by those pics the hairs look mostly white so she probably has 2. If u can get a 60x jewelers loupe u can watch ur trichs to kno when YOU want to harvest.Yeah i love this thread, i'll be here then! LST is great.

how much weight do you pull with your light i got the same one... and how long do u wait to change your bulb?
Yeah i have that cheap pocket microscope from radio shack, mostly milky trichomes, no amber yet. I see more and more orange hairs everyday, i guess i'll start my flush, suggestions?
